problem For the Brakeman.
(Detroit Free Press.)
A young man on a certain excur
sion train noticed a woman who
stood up and searched her pocket
wildly.
•Been robbed, ma’am?” he inquired.
‘Oh, no,” she answered; “but It’s
j just as bad. I've lost my ticket and
| I’ve got no money. The railroad will
arrest me for fraud.”
“Well,” said the young man, “I’ve
got n<) money either; biit here take
! my ticket and I’ll give the brakeman
j a problem.”
; When the brakeman came through
I the young man, to confuse him. kept
moving about the car. Finally,
though, he was cornered.
“Ticket.” said the brakeman.
“You’ve got my ticket,” said the
! young man.
1 "I haven’t got it.” said he brake-
man.
“Yes, you have ”
‘•We’ll see about this. I’ll call the
conductor.”
Whe n tho conductor came he said
to the young man with a scowl:
“Where’s your ticket?”
“He's got my ticket.” was the ro-
i ply. “See if he hasn’t got a ticket
with a small piece off the corner.”
“Why, yes. you have. Jim. There
it is,” said the conductor reproach
fully.
“And here's the piece.” said the
young man “See if it doesn’t fit.”
It fitted and the conductor and
brakemtin went off arguing and ges-
1 initiating
“1 thought that was a prol lem they
wouldn’t answer,” said the young
man.
